He shouldn’t be starting. Needs come on 10 mins before halftime

Yep.

Hunt has worked. He is clearly an impact wrecking ball that needs to start first half.
Then what you do is gradually bring him on a little earlier. say 15 minutes to halftime, then 16 minutes, then 17 minutes.

In that role he was working very well.

The problem is we are missing half our forward pack. There was only 1 replacement for Stef/Paps/Bateman/Klemmer and while May was awesome.. there is only so much he can do.

We totally need Hunt to be Nr 15 or 16, but we can't do that when we haven't hired nr12.
 
God, I hope he's injured or something's going on personally otherwise he should be doing better.

I wonder what May and Twal think of him? If nothing else, have a go for your team mates

He'd be on good coin too.

Consider the fact he was about to retire til we offered him a three year contract. Earns probably 450-500k a year to play less than 30 mins a game. Sweet gig.

Only thing I can suggest is that they put him back on the bench where he had more impact early in the season … might have to see how Sione goes starting until Pole is back..

Has got that shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic feel about it…again

You were going ok until the last paragraph.

where did i say he has no say you peanut?????? i said he’s the head coach not head of recruitment. he’s not 100% at fault for lack of depth in a squad. there’s a reason people are employed solely to identify and bring talent in otherwise fmd benji may as well do everything else in the club too. he’ll be running the canteen next. lighten up we’re begging you 🤣

Yes but they were sacked. By Richo.
Recruitment is now up to Benji and Richo.
His words (Richo’s) not mine.

That would of been my preferred prop rotation once Pole was injured.

Being unfit is a pissweak excuse...you just work hard and you get fitter. Its not impossible.
How can benji justify this?
Yes...low on troops and no depth.
Richo? Hello?

No excuses for lack of fitness at NRL level. Is Royce injured, maybe? Stats you posted earlier are softer than pensioner sh%t.....
Honestly feel the front office NEED to be making some signings in the pack, and pronto before the Bears get on a recruitment roll.
Even Bateman looked solid last night and f#$k that guy, hope he steps on a broken lightbulb.

Bateman was far from terrible last nite..maybe he got motivated against his old club
same as Klemmer the other week
Warning signals for us

Yeah id say he was, the pasty MF... Did you see him rousing the crowd?
Im stuck on why they let Klemmer walk, was decent for us without setting the world on fire.
Def would have helped us last two games with Nua out.

He's actually been very good all year.

Bateman by himself is not a great example as he's had messy break ups everywhere but he's another example of someone struggling with us and playing better elsewhere.

Prickly customer I agree..not easy to manage or motivate...but this is where Benjis skillset falls short
Big part of the problem..cant just recruit folks he gets along with
Were not all homogenous etc...its where Bellamy/Bennett do so well being flexible and adaptable to motivate the quirky ones
having a game plan to exploit opposition weaknesses wld also be welcome..but thats another story for another day
Maybe tomorrow?
